Idioma: Inglês.Publicação: [S.l.] : Routledge, 2016Descrição física: 495-511 p.; 30 cm em PDFColeção: Psychology, Crime & Law; 22 (5)Assunto: 705 | 6238 | 5053 | 106803 | 689 | 102931 | 6300 | 5647 | 279Localização e Cota : 159.9PEC Resumo: The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) and two of its short forms (NPI-16 and NPI-13) among a Portuguese sample of male incarcerated juvenile offenders (N = 221). Of these, only the NPI-13 short version demonstrated a good fit in terms of its factor structure. The NPI-13 also showed promising psychometric properties in terms of its internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and criterion-related validity. Statistically significant associations were found with age of crime onset, crime seriousness, conduct disorder symptoms, alcohol abuse, and cannabis use. These findings justify the use of the NPI-13,especially its Entitlement/Exploitativeness dimension, among incarcerated male youths.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
